After almost six years since my last major hardware purchase, I recently got a new PC! It was just on time as my old one just started to feel a little sluggish in heavy applications like Eclipse and OpenOffice.org.

New PC

A combination of my birthday present and my job made this configuration possible:

• AMD Phenom II X4 810
• 4 GB DDR3 RAM
• 500 GB hard disk
• Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1 GB
• obviously a motherboard, case, power supply and DVD writer.

I ordered the whole thing from Atelco. Delivery was very fast. I ordered on a Sunday and got the system by Tuesday, but then the motherboard broke and it took them almost two weeks to replace it.

Now everything is running fine and it’s a good feeling to finally be on par with current technology again. I installed Arch64 on it and currently enjoy Grand Theft Auto IV and Dawn Of War II on a small Windows partition.
